Green Producer Diary

My Motivation

My inspiration was a fairy tale princess like ball that doesn’t come out as expected because the princes is a tragic character. Also, the painter Francis Bacon inspired me to complete the look with his use of colours for the human skin and its carnality.  Sustainability is important because I think it’s the only way out of this continuous increase in pollution and environmental problems that we are having, and to which we are sadly the origin.

My Vetrine Journey 

I really didn’t feel like there were big challenges in the designing and making of the dress. Of course, there is always a process of testing and trying until you get the shape or colour or finishing that you have in your original design, but nothing I couldn’t work out with a little time. The normal challenges of designing and creating.

A Message to Consumers

I would like them to like it and see it as a sustainable and beautiful work of artisan production. 

A Message to Future Learners

First of all, to do research on materials and find out as much as possible how to design with sustainability in your mind from the very beginning. Then, look for fabrics and materials around you, there are always many sources of these products that are left over or already used among your friends and family, or local businesses. These materials are there and probably go to the bin if you don’t find a use for them.
